Das kann doch jemand anderes machen! Wie KI uns alle sinnvoller arbeiten lässt:

In the organizer's words:

Author Sara Weber in conversation with Marianna Deinyan

Imagine it's work - and nobody has to go. Because your job is taken over by artificial intelligence. AI is already coordinating stock levels in the warehouse, building presentations for us and diagnosing tumors. And that's just the beginning.

It has long been clear that artificial intelligence has the potential to bring about major changes. AI not only plans our trips and suggests the next series for us, but also overturns our working world. A significant and worrying upheaval, but one that has come at exactly the right time.

Because in view of general exhaustion and the increasing shortage of workers, we urgently need solutions that go beyond "If everyone does a little more, ...". In addition to the desire for relief, there is also the concern that AI will take away your entire job. Yet we are all needed more than ever in the age of AI. One thing is certain: What the future of our working world looks like is in our own hands.

Sara Weber has been studying the new world of work for years. She is convinced that AI does not only harbor risks: We need to learn from the mistakes of the past and set the right political course now. Because in the end, AI is just a tool. If we use it for positive and fair change, we can create the working world of our dreams - and finally work better than ever before.

Sara Weber, born in 1987, is German-American and lives in Munich. She studied journalism and book studies in Mainz and attended the German School of Journalism in Munich. As a freelance author, she has written for "Die Zeit" and "Die Süddeutsche Zeitung", among others. She writes the Spiegel column "ÜberArbeiten". Her first book "Die Welt geht unter und ich muss trotzdem arbeiten?" was a bestseller in 2023.

Marianna Deinyan is a journalist and presenter from Cologne. In addition to her work as a radio presenter and podcast host, she moderates events and panels.
